Mysql Union in different columns - mysql

I have the following query
SELECT *
FROM(
(SELECT
MAX(c.start_time) as start_1
FROM
c1 c)
UNION ALL
(SELECT
MAX(cc.created_at) as ccmax
FROM
cc1)
) as t
I'd like to have the result in a table with 2 columns start_1 and cmax instead of the single column I get with all the different results listed.
How should I do it? I ended up in a subselect believing this would have done the job.

For the data to be in two columns you would have to use a sub select.
SELECT
MAX(c1.start_time) as start_1, (SELECT MAX(cc1.created_at) FROM cc1) as ccmax
FROM c1

How to duplicate returning values from a query in MySQL

When I use this I Get the table two times but I want each value duplicated before the next value comes
SELECT *
FROM student
WHERE major LIKE 'C%'
UNION ALL
SELECT *
FROM student
WHERE major LIKE 'C%';
You can use a union all. A union will not work, because it will eliminate duplicates. Another way is a cross join:
select
*
from
students t1 cross join
(select 1 as n union all select 2) n
WHERE major LIKE 'C%'
order by id;

Compare one table with another in mysql and display matched record

I have two mysql tabales.
Table1:opened_datatable
Table2:unidata
Table1 has only one column:Emails
Table2 has 45 columns, three of them are:Email_Office, Email_Personal1, Email_Personal2
I want to fetch full rows from Table2-unidata if Emails column of Table1 matches with either Email_Office or Email_Personal1 or Email_Personal2. I am getting little bit confused here.I tried this way:
select a.emails
from opened_datatable a
where a.Emails in (select *
from unidata b
where b.email_office=a.emails
or b.Email_Personal1=a.emails
or b.Email_Personal2=a.Emails
)
Its showing only one row of first table while I want to show matched rows of Table2 -unidata. First I need to mention table 2 and then I should have to match it with table 1-opened_datatable. But how can I do that?
Try This:
SELECT a.emails, b.*
FROM opened_datatable a
INNER JOIN unidata b ON a.emails IN (b.email_office, b.Email_Personal1, b.Email_Personal2)
Your current query should return an error.
Try a Corrrelated Subquery using EXISTS, quite similar to your apporach:
select a.emails
from opened_datatable a
where EXISTS
( select *
from unidata b
where b.email_office=a.emails
or b.Email_Personal1=a.emails
or b.Email_Personal2=a.Emails
)
You will probably not get good performance due to the OR-ed conditions.
Edit:
If performance is too bad, you might try a UNION approach:
select a.emails
from opened_datatable a
where a.emails
IN
( select email_office
from unidata b
UNION
select Email_Personal1
from unidata b
UNION
select b.Email_Personal2
from unidata b
)

How to combine different querys with different conditions

I've three tables: a, b and c
a:(q,r,s), b:(q,r,t), c:(q,r,u,v)
I want to make a query like this:
select q,r from a where s="whatever", q="whatever"
select q,r from b where t="whatever", q="whatever"
select q,r from c where u="whatever", q="whatever"
I want the results in one query, order by r. Is that possible?
You can use the SQL UNION operator. It is used to combine the result sets of 2 or more SELECT statements. It removes duplicate rows between the various SELECT statements.
Each SELECT statement within the UNION must have the same number of fields in the result sets with similar data types.
Example:
select q,r from a where s="whatever", q="whatever"
UNION
select q,r from b where t="whatever", q="whatever"
UNION
select q,r from c where u="whatever", q="whatever"
ORDER BY 1 -- If you want to order by specific colum and columns'name are different in the two select
You can use UNION ALL instead of UNION. The difference between them is that UNION ALL does not remove duplicate rows.

How to get information from two tables

I want to extract some information from two different table in one database,
[(first table): id-nbrNight-........]
[(second table): id-........]
I want to extract the nbrNight from the first table & the id from the second table:
so in my case I write this, but I don't know how to rassemble this two line in one line:
SELECT sum(nbrNight) as night FROM firsttab
SELECT count(`id`) as id FROM secondtab
I wirte this to rassemble this two line:
SELECT sum(nbrNight) as night,count(`id`) FROM firsttab,secondtab
But it doesn't work!
You can use UNION to combine the result from two query like
SELECT sum(nbrNight) as night FROM firsttab
UNION
SELECT count(`id`) as id FROM secondtab
(OR) do a JOIN with both tables using a common column between them (if any present) like below (assuming id is the common column between them)
SELECT sum(t1.nbrNight) as nightsum, count(t2.`id`) as idcount
FROM firsttab t1 JOIN secondtab t2 ON t1.id = t2.id
One option is to use the queries as inline views; reference those queries as a rowsource (like a table) in another query.
Since each query returns a single row, you can safely perform a JOIN operation, without need for any join predicate (aka CROSS JOIN).
For example:
SELECT f.night
, s.id
FROM ( SELECT SUM(nbrNight) AS night FROM firsttab ) f
CROSS
JOIN ( SELECT COUNT(id) AS id FROM secondtab ) s
Another option (since both queries are guaranteed to return exactly one row, if they don't return an error) is to include the query in the SELECT list of another query. It's not necessary to include a column alias in the subquery, but we can assign an alias.
For example:
SELECT ( SELECT SUM(nbrNight) FROM firsttab ) AS night
, ( SELECT COUNT(id) FROM secondtab ) AS id
If either of the queries were returning more than one column, then the approach in the first example will still work. The inline view queries can return multiple expressions, and we can reference those expressions in the outer query. With the pattern in the second example, that imposes a restriction that the subqueries must return only one expression (one column).
As an example to demonstrate an inline view returning more than one column, the inline view f returns three expressions:
SELECT f.night
, f.cnt
, f.min_nbr
, s.id
FROM ( SELECT SUM(nbrNight) AS night
, COUNT(nbrNight) AS cnt
, MIN(nbrNight) AS min_nbr
FROM firsttab
) f
CROSS
JOIN ( SELECT COUNT(id) AS id FROM secondtab ) s

order multiple tables according to one column

Is it possible, using SQL to pull data from different tables, then sort the data according to one column that is in all tables. eg, I have 3 tables. Base, Selects, Sub. They all 3 have a position column,
Select base_layers.position, selects.position, subbases.position
from base_layers,selects,subbases
Order By (alls)position;
That is exactly what I actually want to do... But have a feeling it is not possible.
Use a union:
(I'm assuming you don't want to cross join all 3 tables)
select Position
from
(
select base_layers.position AS Position
from base_layers
union
select selects.position
from selects
union
select subbases.position
from subbases
) x
order by Position ASC;
Your syntax was incorrect. Try this version.
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT base_layers.position
FROM base_layers
UNION ALL
SELECT selects.position
FROM selects
UNION ALL
SELECT subbases.position
FROM subbases
) tbl ORDER BY tbl.position;
